Mike Justice Releases “Allegiance” Song

Tuesday, May 20, 2014 – As part of the continuing launch of the new 262 Allegiance line, Mike Justice of 262 Cigars has released a new single, appropriately titled “Allegiance”, which is now available for streaming and MP3 download at www.262Cigars.com/Allegiance.

The second single to be released in support of a new 262 cigar launch, Allegiance is a hard-hitting, head bouncing, heavy rock song written and performed by Mike Justice along with guest rapper Brunson. Mike has been a long time musician and song writer performing in bands since the age of 13 and taking to the studio on multiple occasions.

“Music is such a huge part of my life. And now I get the opportunity to pour one passion into another, mixing my love of music with my love of cigars. 262 has never been a traditional cigar company. Our brand and our message are edgy, in your face, and very much rock-and-roll, and I want everyone who experiences our product to have the opportunity to share in the raw energy and emotion that we pour into everything we do. My music is a large part of that vision and that process for me.” ~ Mike Justice

When Mike first began the process of creating this new song, he was determined to break outside of his normal tendencies and produce something he’s never done before. Adding the hip-hop angle was part of the plan from the very beginning. Mike decided to bring in local Lynchburg rapper Brunson to the project.

“My first gut feeling about how I wanted the song to sound was ultimately the path I stuck with and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Brunson really brought a raw, unabashed energy and groove to the track that takes the song to another level. Brunson has a real drive and determination in his approach to music. He’s very dedicated in his craft and goes the extra mile that shines through in his music. It was great collaborating with him and finally putting pen to paper, and paper to mic in the studio.” ~Mike

Allegiance was recorded and mastered at Mixup Productions Studio in Gladys, VA. The standard and extended versions are available for streaming and download at www.262Cigars.com/Allegiance.
